Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) and the CGTC athletics department have announced the appointment of Antonio Harris as the next women’s basketball head coach.
Harris joined CGTC Athletics in 2014 when he was named the cross country head coach and the men’s basketball assistant coach. In his first year with the program, Harris led runners Danny Shaw and Eddie Stafford to first and third place finishes, respectively, in the inaugural CGTC Titans Invitational. Both runners earned Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association (GCAA) all-conference recognition and the opportunity to compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national competition.
In his first season with the Titans men’s basketball program, Harris helped coach the team to an 18-12 overall record and 8-10 conference record.
Prior to Central Georgia Tech, Harris began his coaching career at Howard Middle School in 2005. His next stint at coaching occurred at Tattnall Square Academy in 2008, where he served as the varsity basketball assistant coach, junior varsity basketball head coach, and the assistant golf coach. Harris continued his coaching career at Miller Magnet School as the assistant football coach and defensive coordinator, associate girls’ basketball coach, and the assistant track coach. Since 2004, Harris has mentored the Girls in Motion basketball club and the Middle Georgia Monarchs girls’ basketball teams in Macon.
A native of Macon, Harris attended Hampton University and Central Texas College. Coach Harris continues to reside in the area with his wife, Rhonda Harris, and their three children, Faren, Jaren, and Zaren.
“I’m very excited about having an opportunity to head the women’s basketball program here at CGTC,” stated Harris. “Being a product of the middle Georgia community has been promising for me. My goal is to continue to help these young women achieve their educational or career goals, as well as helping them become more positive, productive members of society and teaching them life skills that will be enhanced by their athletic ability.”
